Nrthwnd Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 GLEE > High School Musical Easy. More accessible for anyone and everyone to watch and enjoy. But - the Road to Regionals doesn't start until...... April*??? (*What I read somewhere. Sadly. Oh well, more time spent with the DVD when it's released, end of the month.)

supertrooper Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Okay, I'm just gonna come out and say it, this is a singing competition so I don't know how those deaf kids got in. They weren't singing, they were like, honking, and everyone was crying, and I was like get off the stage, you're terrible and you're making me super uncomfortable.

Nrthwnd Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 ^ Yeah, it was one of those 'awkward' GLEE moments. And realistically, it probably wouldn't have happned. Fortunately, it worked for me, as the whole thing was based on the club's Play List being leaked and snatched up by the other teams. Good old Sue, heh heh. This show has to have taken one to more bizarrely and rather eek-filled those-kind-of-moments and situations, than I can ever remember, from any other series in the past. Comedy, Dramedy, etc. Well, maybe Arrested Development comes close, but hey, this comes with songs & dance & well-intentioned attitude! It was a great first season finale, and the song they picked for the group to do, with the Award there (woo hoo!) and all..... ("My Life Would Suck Without You"......love it) was really good, well choeographed and I can't wait to re-hear that on CD 2 out now. Oh well, until April 13 then, we wait with antici...................pation... for. More. (Thanks RCFreak for that info.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Wow! Just saw the latest episode. GREAT! This really makes me want season two, NOW! BTW, anyone addicted to that song Rachel sang, "Don't Rain on My Parade". Youtube it, it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Lea Michele (Rachel) definitely has "the voice" for such numbers as "Don't Rain..." I've loved hearing her voice ever since I heard her on the "Spring Awakening" Broadway cast CD. Then, we got a bit of how good she really was on that year's TONYS (2007) when they did a medley from the production and she opened it with "Mama Who Bore Me." And the musical won for Best Musical, of course. Beautiful voice. But sometimes, I think I prefer hearing her more, when she's been given softer, more nuanced numbers to perform. She can belt it out, and "Don't Rain..." certainly proved that. But I hope they give her some more "lower volumne" stuff to sing in the upcoming episodes. Man, do we really have to wait till APRIL for "The Road to Regionals"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
where'smyhotdog Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I watched the first episode yesterday and just finished watching all of them. This show is amazing; I cannot believe I did not watch it until now. I cannot wait for season two! @Twister II. Rachel singing "Don't Rain on My Parade" is very addicting.

Nrthwnd Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I was hoping they'd have some of "exchange certificate" for the DVD since it wasn't coming out till the 29th. Not to be. Ah well. Ordered the GLEE DVD a few minutes ago, from Amazon. And now listening to "And I am Telling You I'm Not Going" sung by Amber Riley / Mercedes. Off the Season One Volume 2 CD. Mmmm. Whatta voice. Whatta lot of voices! Mmmm. Fabulous cast and they deserve every award they can pull in, in the coming year, not to mention the writers, the orchestrators, the producers... GLEE will ROCK in 2010!

Nrthwnd Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 And further to add, since I love this show so much, more and more... Am now Listening to Cory Monteith / Finn knock "I'll Stand By You" out of the friggin' proverbial ballpark...on the Volume 2 CD of GLEE... "Nice BC boy makes really good" (it's true he's from the Vancouver area!), just as good as Lea Michele (or any of these wonderful actors, really) in their chameleon ability to take a number and totally own it - also thanks to great orchestrating, directing, choreography etc. I am in bliss with GLEE - and its not all Lea. It's Cory, Amber, Chris, Jayma, Mark, Dianna, Matthew, Kevin, Jenna, and even non-singing Jane Lynch / Sue too, Hah hah! I wish them all a fabulously GLEE-ful 2010! (Now it's "Crush" on, with the amazing Michele... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 For Christmas, I got both Glee CD's (Volume 1 and 2) and my mom ordered season one on DVD!!! It doesn't come out until the 28th so I have yet to receive it! Haha. It was only $25 on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13eyondYourImagination Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I really, really love Glee! I'm a huge Gleek. My favorite character is Artie, with Kurt and Tina close behind. My favorite song they've done is Don't Rain On My Parade (Lea Michele has such an incredible voice!) I also really enjoyed Imagine. I can't believe it won't be on again for three whole months! I'll just have to watch my DVD over and over again until April... (Wow, my first post on TPR and it's about Glee. *Facepalm*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny In England Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Glee's starting here in a few days, wouldn't normally but I'm going to give it a go simply because of how much TPR's been raving about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sccoasterfan Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Well I am so stoked and I love this show. I am so anxiously waiting for season 1 part 2 Road to regionals. IT IS NOT GOING TO BE SEASON 2. It will be called Season 1: Part 2 - Road to Regionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 "It's just - - a little Crush..." Just looove some of these numbers. I think the best part of the 2 cast soundtrack CDs now available, is that with the music/songs taken out of the show's context, it shows how really talented the cast - and the orchestrators and those who pick these numbers - really are.

piers Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 ^I like some of it, but a lot of it really makes me cringe, mostly the lead guy's face and voice. The show officially starts tonight in the UK so atleast I can talk to people about it now and they will know what Im talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFreak Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Yeah Finn singing to me is meh. And in case you guys didn't know, Glee was picked up for a second season, (not to be confused with the second half of the first season playing starting in April) starting this fall and they are having open casting calls for new people starting next month.

chemical_echo Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'm really hoping they allow Canadians to try out, my cousin has been in a few movies and is a great singer, so she's hoping to send in a tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 ^ Well, Corey Montieth / Finn is from Victoria, BC so anything's possible for your cousin - nothing ventured..... yes? And best of luck ("Break A Leg!") to your cousin, too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Bump for a Woo Hoo!!! GLEE won the Golden Globe (last night) as Best Comedy/Musical TV Series! And I would hazard a guess that it was The First TV Series In A Long, Long Time to actually qualify in both genres, lol! Congrats to the creators, cast....and dance captains, heh heh. Now - on to Regionals in April! Golden Globe Group hug! Waytago guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerbell Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm so happy Glee won! Although I will say I was a bit surprised Jane Lynch didn't win her category, but then again, I'm not familiar with the woman who did, so I guess I can't really judge. Good luck smartestcoasterkidever! on your audition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) This is one of the things I find very strange with the Golden Globes. They separate the Best Actor and Actress categories into Drama and Comedy/Musical for both movies and for television. But for both Supporting Actor and Actress, they lump together the movie and tv categories, so not only was Lynch competing against supporting actresses in Drama (and that's who won, one of the actresses from the tv series Big Love), but the movies as well. Definitely apples and oranges to be sure, unfairly. Edited March 1, 2010 by Nrthwnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
